Maybe for consistency we could add a "broadcast" arg to allow scripts like this to run? I don't remember this being brought up before, but I could have missed it. Otherwise, only running them when called by name sounds like a good enough alternative.Good points. I like the idea of modifying the scripts so they only run if they are called by name (e.g. the same rule as we use for the verbosity bump) or if a special NSE argument is set (whether that be "broadcast" or something else).
We have a pretty flexible script "choosing" mechanism now that we have the boolean operators for categories. Shouldn't we be adding more categories? I mean, similar to how the "all" category is a pseudo-category, we could add others such as "quick" which would translate to: "safe and not broadcast and not newtarget" or something like that. Or maybe make a legitimate "quick" category? Seems there are mechanisms in place to make this easy but we are forgetting about them... -- - Patrick Donnelly _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
